However, the researchers found no statistical difference between women considered "at risk" for eating disorders who belonged to a sorority (13%) and those living in college dorms (10%).

In the new study, Dr. Sharon L. Hoerr and colleagues at Michigan State University in East Lansing distributed surveys to men and women that asked about their eating attitudes and habits and got useable responses from 1,620.

please read the above. this wasn't (from my humble psych student background) a half-assed study. yes, there are applications to sorority houses. but there is also a huge application to freshman women living in dorms. all research starts somewhere. this is simply a starting point. and not to point out the obvious, but this was a tiny little print article, not the entire research study. the bit 'bout sorority houses prolly got a paragraph total as a possible application of the overall findings.
one more example of media seeing and hearing what they want to hear. . .
it's bad enough when they do that to greek life...but darn if they're gonna do it to psychology too...ehhhhhhhhh...
sorry, i'm done with my rant now...
